Course Requirements:
Grading is based on a standard college curve, where students earn a grade based upon the
percent of total points possible. Drop quizzes may not be made up. There will be a one week
grace period to make up any missed exams or assignments. Any missed exam/work not made
up within that allotted time will be given a zero. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule
make-up work during a date and time mutually convenient for the student and the instructor.
Final letter grades are based on the following criteria:
A - 89.5 - 100% of the total points
B - 79.5 - <89.5% of the total points
C - 69.5 - < 79.5% of the total points
D - 59.5 - <69.5% of the total points
F - <59.5% of the total points
